A truck rollover on Hobart's Tasman Bridge caused major traffic chaos across the city on Monday with additional ferry services put on to help.
Police said the truck rolled about 3pm and the driver had been taken to the Royal Hobart Hospital.
It is understood the man is in a stable condition but his injuries is unknown.
Val Ansett from Tasmania Fire Service said a crew was sent to the scene of the rollover.
"The information they gave me was that they rescued the driver through the windscreen on the vehicle," he said.
Motorists were asked to use the Bowen Bridge as an alternative while the scene was cleared.
The truck's container, carrying tiles, spilled onto the bridge and an excavator was required to remove them.
Traffic was been banked up back into the Hobart CBD with police stepping in to direct cars to alternative routes.
Additional Derwent ferry services were run in response to the bridge closure.
The Bruny Island ferry also ran an additional service from Kettering.
It took four and a half hours to clear the bridge with police issuing a statement at 7:27pm thanking motorists for their patience and warning they'd still face delays while congested traffic cleared.
